I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm looking to find a doctor. The three closest doctors offices that my insurance covers is EDWARD M AUSTIN MD PC on Oxford Dr, WOMANCARE ASSOCIATES also on Oxford Drive and UPMC DEPT OF OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY on Curry Hollow Road. Does anyone/Has anyone gone to any of those and have any recommendations for both place and doctor and why you liked them? or any ones you didn't like and why? Also, how early along will doctors actually see you?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

I decided to go to Dr. Bulseco's office in Mcmurray. So far I have only seen Dr. Lenart but I really like her and I have liked all the nurses too. Thanks!

Congrats on #2!

I thought I would look and see what kind of responses you got. I have thought of possibly switching OB/GYNs. I go to the practice the previous poster mentioned. I try to see Dr. Lenart there. She delivered my daughter and I absolutely love her, but as for the others, minus the male doctor (I can't remember his name), I'm not very fond of the rest. I had a m/c before my daughter and Dr. Bulesco was not very kind to me when I went in for my follow-up. She wasn't mean, per se, but she didn't show any empathy AT ALL, so I just don't care for her anymore. Once when I was pregnant with my daughter and worried because I hadn't felt her move in hours, I called in to see if I could go in for a NST, and Dr. Brown gave me major attitude about it. Since then, I haven't cared for her either. Dr. Lenart is the best one to see there...she is always open, caring and always listens to you. No attitude, not too busy for you. The only problem is that you have to see all doctors while you are pregnant because any one of them may be on call when you deliver...

As for delivering at St. Clair Hospital...I also highly recommend them. I had an amazing and wonderful experience with my daughter's birth there. The nurses are wonderful!

I see Dr. Shirley Woo, with Western PA Women's Healthcare Assoc. They have an office at Magee Hospital and one near Century 3 mall. She deliverd both of my children, at Magee Hospital and I don't have any complaints with her at all. Her Gyn care is great and her OB care is also great. There are a few other women in her office, and I've seen them all too. I like them all. Good luck!

Hi B.,
I love Dr Lupinetti at Womencare Assoc Bethel Park. One of the other docs was our primary MD for our 1st preg. I had never met Dr Lupinetti until I went into labor 8 weeks early with my twins. My husband & I were very nervous and anxious with not only our situation but that we were now going to have a doc we never met deliver our twins. Dr Lupinetti was so kind, easy going, and made us feel at ease immediately...it was as if we had known him for months. My delivery went smoothly and our twins are healthy, energetic 15month olds!
I am now pregnant again and try to make all of my appts with Dr L. I was seen in his office both times at 7 weeks.
Good luck and I hope you find someone you like! Congrats on your pregnancy! Also, Womencare Assoc deliver at Magee....we also had a great experience on the Labor & Delivery unit.

B.,
They will see you right away. Choose and call someone right away. You will get many many many opinions on the same doctors. The practice of the first poster here came highly rec'd by my SIL...I decided to switch (routine care, not preggo at that time) and made an appointment. After sitting in the waiting room for 1-1/2 HOURS, finally had someone tell us that Dr. B was out of the country and another doc was seeing twice the patients, blah blah. I stayed & had my exam since I already had about 2 hours invested but I never went back.
My point is, you fill find docs in each group that you like and some you might not like as well.
I like Daniel Lattanzi by St Clair Hospital, which, by the way is a great place to deliver! The nurses were wonderful there.

I used to see Dr. Bulseco before I had children, and left her practice only because I had my heart set on delivering at Magee and not at St. Clair. My friend had a baby 10 months ago with Dr. Bulseco's group. She spoke highly of the experience, but mentioned Dr. Lenart a few times specifically. The room at St. Clair is amazing, and she was thrilled with the whole experience from practice to delivery.

I deal with WomanCare Associates, and the only person I did not care of is the on staff mid wife, I don't recall her name (Nicole I believe) I love love LOVED Dr. Nichols, and had hoped that she would be the doctor to deliver my baby. I ended up having Dr. Swanson, and we were very happy with her treatment of me and the delivery.

I found Dr. Lupeneti to just be someone I didn't mesh well with, but could be that I only saw him 1x and that was 2 days before I delivered.

Congratulations!!!
I haven't any experience with the Doctors that you mentioned but (if you are also considering others)
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bulseco and her group (I particularily love Dr. Stephanie Brown). They are at St. Clair Hospital, which is also (IMO) the absolute BEST place to deliver (go on a tour..but the best part are all of the incredible nurses and staff).
The Doctors will see you as early as possible in your pregnancy. I like them because they are personable, professional, and one Doctor in the group saved my dd's life (emergency c-section! I also like the fact that none of them perform abortions (this is important to me, perhaps not to others and that is of course one's perogative).
Any-hoo, hope this is helpful! :)
Oh, and the # is ###-###-####.
